 EXIT GOD

    Of old our father's God was real, Something they almost saw, Which kept them to a stern ideal And scourged1 them into awe2.

    They walked the narrow path of right Most vigilantly3 well, Because they feared eternal night And boiling depths of Hell.

    Now Hell has wholly boiled away And God become a shade. There is no place for him to stay In all the world He made.

    The followers4 of William James Still let the Lord exist, And call Him by imposing5 names, A venerable list. But nerve and muscle only count, Gray matter of the brain, And an astonishing amount Of inconvenient6 pain.

    I sometimes wish that God were back In this dark world and wide； For though sonic virtues7 He might lack, He had his pleasant side.
